This was my first revolver to buy brand new, and the only gun I had at the time suitable for hunting, so its digested mostly full house .357 Magnum cartridges. I was in the Army when I bought the gun and had no place for reloading, so had to depend on factory stuff for the first couple of years I had the gun.

Today its mileage stands at just over 17,000 rounds fired, mostly .357 Magnum handloads. Didn't look quite like this when bought in 1958.
